Coach Profiles: The La Liga Round Should Have Been Cancelled

Two matches in La Liga football have been cancelled following the deadly floods – over 200 people have died – in Spain. The remaining matches in the round will be played, but it's a wrong decision, believes Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone.

It is clear that there is no logic in it, says the coach profile ahead of Sunday's home game against Las Palmas.

In the worst affected region of Valencia, the situation is described as "a war scenario". Simeone says it is emotional to see all the people out on the streets to help.

There are people who are having a terrible time, it is very sad at the same time as they tell us to continue (as usual), says Simeone.

Valencia's arena Mestalla has become a aid center and Saturday's home game against Real Madrid has been cancelled. The same applies to Villarreal–Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, whose team plays at home against Espanyol on Sunday, says that if he had the power to decide, probably all matches in the round would have been cancelled.

For me, this is a tragedy. We experienced this in Germany three years ago, it is terrible to see this, says the German.
